The series was the first of the Gerry Anderson saga that made the use of facial expressions on the puppets, instead of just having blinker heads like in Fireball XL5. This was also the first series to use glass eyeballs in the puppets' heads as opposed to just painted eyes in all the previous puppet shows. Facial expressions were later used in Thunderbirds. However, fewer facial expressions were used in Captain Scarlet And The Mysterons, because the heads of the puppets in that series were too small.
